Chapter 277

On the fourth day of their arrival in Boston, the sailors who lost their flagship began their operations at the same time.

Lorraine divided the whole team into four groups.

The first group, led by him, is assigned to Carmen and Karen, who are responsible for acquiring the shipyard and looking for attachment; The second group, joined by acharin and bell, took pierce into the social field in Boston; The third group is Wang Ye and Haina, who begin to explore the slave organization hidden deep underground; The fourth group is Katrina and Noah. They are mainly responsible for staying in the water tank and cleaning up the Jackdaw. On the one hand, they hand over arms and on the other hand, they buy supplementary materials.

Everyone has a fine and clear task. The shame of Qianwan is a kindness that must be returned to these conceited and proud privateers.

The first group

Today's Carmen is wearing a dark green Jumpsuit supporting skirt, which is similar to black, but it can reflect the green shadow of wave like flexibility between hands and feet, highlighting the texture and luster of top silk.

Each stitch of such clothing material represents money, and each line is full of prestige. Carmen almost doesn't wear it. The reason why he always carries it with him is that today is such a day of negotiation.

Your daughter goes out of the boudoir, and the room is full of flowers.

Lorraine only felt a light in front of her eyes: "Carmen, every time you take it seriously, I doubt I've seen another person."

"Because clothes and make-up are half of a woman, my captain." Carmen opened the silk fan, covered his mouth and smiled. "Can you venture to ask? Which of so many Carmen is the most beautiful in your eyes?"

"Everyone is a peerless beauty." Lorraine raised her elbow and invited Carmen, "but in my impression, the haggard beauty waiting anxiously in Southampton is probably the most beautiful one."

"You actually remember the most embarrassing time of a social flower!" Carmen flew a white eye angrily. "As Haina said, your slowness is a sin."

Laughing and making noise, the lights bubbled. Carmen took Lorraine in his arm and followed Karen behind him. The three were preparing to go to the battlefield together. The on duty sailor at the warehouse door suddenly ran in.

"Captain, there are your guests."

"Guest?"

"There are two gentlemen. One is Mr. Thomas Jefferson, and the other calls himself Mr. Paul Revere."

"The governor and the army commander..." Lorraine rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. "Such a big gentleman came to the door. Why don't Jenny and McCarthy know to call?"

……

The so-called human rights and obligations have an eternal equal relationship. To be frank, it means that the world's unhappiness is often eight or nine. If you are more frank

Nobody TM wants to be happy!

In Lorraine's team, Lorraine and Karen should be the two most enthusiastic people to acquire the shipyard.

Karen's enthusiasm comes from his simple professional instinct and his beautiful longing for retirement life.

He boarded Lorraine's pirate ship because he was excluded by the shipyard. As the veteran and the oldest group of sailors, he often imagined his life after getting off the ship.

Judging from Lorraine's kindness to the long-term sailors, he is likely to become the top management of the chamber of Commerce after getting off the ship. If I don't have this vision, I should also be able to eat a dry share without food and clothing to kill the boring retirement life.

But this is not what he wants.

As a top craftsman trained by Plymouth naval dock, he still has the dream of shipbuilding.

Build a magnificent warship and outline the future of the ocean with ink, so on.

Now Lorraine has given him the opportunity to realize his dream. It is a shipyard with top facilities. Although the design style looks more demon, everything can be changed when he takes over the shipyard!

Compared with Karen, Lorraine's intention is actually more difficult. He hopes to design a sailboat that only belongs to him.

This is not a simple wish.

There are many people who can sail a boat in the world, and there will be no fewer comprehensive and exquisite ones like Lorraine, but there will always be only a handful who can design a boat on paper.

Designing sailboats is a professional skill.

Lorin wants a fast, flexible, strong and powerful flagship. If he wants to turn his ideas into reality, he first needs to form a professional team skilled in it.

However, being strong and strong requires a large and stable hull, and being fast and flexible runs counter to this demand. There are few design teams in the world dedicated to pursuing the high-speed of large warships. It is even more difficult for him to meet

But who could have thought that at the Jackdaw's funeral, niord sent him one.

It is conceivable that Lorraine's shock and joy even diluted Qianwan's humiliation, allowing him to plan revenge rationally with a relaxed mood.

This shows Lorraine's ambition for Haite shipyard and those wonderful designers.

However, as a team leader, he has obligations. One of these obligations is irreplaceable social tasks, such as receiving the visits of Thomas Jefferson and Paul Revere.

Lorraine could not avoid his duty, even if he knew the purpose of the two men's visit.

In the reception room of the water tank, Noah poured tea for the three guests, while Katrina became the main escort.

Because Carmen's plenipotentiary Lorraine went to find Haite, Lorraine was a little distracted.

"Mr. KENWAY, were you just going out?"

Jefferson's opening was completely unresponsive.

Seeing the guests in embarrassment, the just Knight lady politely stabbed Lorraine on the shoulder.

Lorraine suddenly recalled: "what?"

"Mr. KENWAY was just about to go out? Look at you. I hope Mr. revere and I haven't disturbed your plan."

"Look at me, you know it's a mess?"

Lorraine abandoned the common sense of playing cards and waved with a smile.

"But it doesn't matter. Boston won't have more important guests than the governor, let alone Mr. revere. In front of such a lineup, even if the Jackdaw is bombed again, I have the obligation to push away the duel with the enemy."

"Do you already have a duel object?"

"It depends on whether the governor wants me to duel in Boston."

After a brief and straightforward verbal confrontation, Lorraine and Jefferson raised their glasses together. Revere smiled awkwardly and quickly raised his glass to set off.

Lorraine was slightly stunned: "Mr. revere... Really not suitable for politics."

This is a step back.

Revere's astringent social behavior broke the balance between Lorraine and Jefferson. Lorraine could only allow them to say their intentions, otherwise revere would be unable to stand down.

This is the depression of asking for help.

As said, Lorraine actually knew their intentions from the beginning.

The Jackdaw was scrapped because of the laxity of the saints. Lorraine paid a huge price. From the perspective of pure business, it belongs to the full responsibility of Party B.

Lorraine has a lot of reasons to ask the saints to bear the losses, and has enough initiative, because less than half of the arms of both sides have been delivered so far, all of which are blown out.

However, the saints have everything but no money.

Behind her is the Puritan church.

Since the outbreak of the war of independence, the members of the North American Anglican Church were reformed from the British Anglican Church, the missionary activities in the United States have entered an unspeakable embarrassing situation.

The old religious organizations were dissolved, the new religious organizations were not established, and the theocracy was defeated by human rights in the secular territory. The priests who had been rich in the Middle Ages never thought they would need the help of the government.

At this stage, the Puritan church undertakes the important task of preaching in the greater Boston diocese. Although its influence is no less than that of the Anglican Church, it can only rely on the appropriation of the Massachusetts government in terms of organizational funds.

The principle of allocating funds must be less than more. It is not easy for the Puritan church to have enough to eat and wear. If it wants to feed the newly formed people's army, it can only sell its position and take refuge in the Continental Army.

These things were all figured out by Lorraine after she calmed down the night before.

The Boston civil army was unstable, and the Puritans were eager to boost it. On the formation of the saints' regiment, priests and politicians hit it off immediately.

At least until the demands of both sides are met, it is more appropriate to regard the saints as a Continental Army with only part of the financial support of the United States than a civil army.

Therefore, the poor army composed of crazy believers did not compensate Lorraine's money, but at the same time, they could not give up most of the arms still in Lorraine's hands.

The only way they can think of is to persuade Jefferson to intercede and never let Lorraine transfer his loss to the saints.

And now Lorraine gave in!

When it was done, Jefferson smiled modestly: "I am entrusted by the commander-in-chief. All kinds of demands can only make you forgive me."

"I can bear the loss myself, and the goods can be delivered within today. But Mr. governor, you can't buy these things with one excuse?" Lorraine asked with a smile.

"I will promise you anything reasonable."

"I don't think you will refuse."

Lorraine sighed and stood up solemnly.

"Mr. governor, Boston is not peaceful these days. I don't know whether the United States plans to hire some mercenaries to solve the security problem."

Jefferson raised his eyebrows. "Massachusetts's taxes are very limited. It seems that he can't afford too high employment fees."

"I know a friend who offers very low prices."

"How much?"

Lorraine stretched out a finger: "an octagonal gold coin. What do you think of the price?"

"I'll bring the suggestion to Massachusetts. From my point of view, they have no reason to refuse."

"Then please."
